Today, we’ll combine different cool stuff: cartopy, Google Maps tiles, SRTM elevation data and shaded relief maps ! We will need cartopy (+ dependencies), which you can install from source, or from C. Gohlke’s prebuilt binaries for Windows users. The first map we create will simply show a 1 degree-square zone including Sudelfeld (where I…

Very early this morning, a meteor lit up the skies of Russia, somewhere close to Ekaterinburg. Same as for the Korean Boom Boom, we wanted to have a look at the seismic data of a close-by station to check if something was visible. The closest IRIS seismic station to this place is II.ARU (see location),…

While in Indonesia last July, I created a small tool for the Kawah Ijen observers to allow them to search and plot teleseismic events and to calculate theoretical arrival times of the waves at the Ijen stations. It took roughly 2 hours to have a working version of the software, with: a GUI to plot…

Following a very old post (link), and questions from Matthias and Kevin, I’ve finally managed to test the R2-related scripts I wrote long-long time ago… I’m really sorry, but don’t quite have the time now to really document all functions/actions, but it should be quite straightforward. This script assumes you start from a ABEM S4K…

Obspy is a really cool package for seismological observatories. In fact, it’s a super set of packages. They are distributed using eggs and have a nice way of declaring namespaces and entry points. The disadvantage, in my case, is that the namespace- approach is quite not compatible with py2exe (will maybe/surely change one day)… …

Great news from last week : ETS 3.5.0 is out ! Note the change in the source-download process.. Now using an unique ets.py file instead of the ProjectTools ! http://blog.enthought.com/open-source/enthought-tool-suite-3-5-0-released/ http://www.optiniche.com/blog/117/wordpress-trackback-tutorial/

I finally managed to install Enthought Python Distribution on my Windows 7 64bit box. In fact, I installed EPD 32bits (I’m a student, the academic licence is free). So, the solution was in the Mailing List Archive (enthought-dev) : Disable the UAC (User Account Control) of Windows 7 in order to let the msi installer…

Tired of using Res2Dinv ? Why not switching to another software, and… FREE ! Andrew Binley provides some excellent programs on his website. I have created some python scripts for easing the I/O to R2. These scripts will soon be available here, Andrew will also provide our compiled version on his website, so you don’t…
